This week, Michael Phelps carried the American flag into Maracana stadium during the opening ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics. He was selected by his peers on Team USA after becoming the most decorated olympian in history, having won 22 medals and appearing in four previous Olympic games. Despite his many accomplishments, however, some are trying to argue that he didn’t deserve the privilege to carry the stars and stripes into the arena.
The Olympics — and especially the opening ceremonies — have long been recognized for their distinct lack of politics. Warring countries have marched alongside one another at multiple games in displays meant to show unity despite the world’s many ongoing conflicts.
Some, however, are trying to inject politics, political correctness, and accusations of white privilege back into the games. See who many thought was a more worthy flagbearer on the nest page. Be forewarned, it had nothing to do with her athletic ability:
and can doesn’t deserve to be on the air because they are a lying,biased,lame stream news media who peddles b******t for the dumbassocratic party…….fk the CLINTON NEWS NETWORK
MICHAEL PHELPS ROCKS FOR THE U.S.A. <3 <3 <3 CNN: AKA:CLINTON NEWS NETWORK HAS AXED THEM SELVES!! COMMENT IF YOU WATCH THEM!! I WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What next? Insanity rules our nation now.
We need to shut down the Communist News Network definitely that’s totally ridiculous the American that’s won the most medals ever in history of the Olympics and he’s brain-dead Democrats want to give it to a Muslim how is this possible for these Democratic pigs and I use pigs because they’re so they’re just there’s no other word for Democrat
Then who? Michael Brown’s mother?
Who appointed u judge????
This is out of hand. Political Correctness must end.
Something to be thinking about!!!
A lot of people have brought up the fact that they won’t vote for Trump if he’s the eventual nominee. I just want to put something in perspective.
Justice Scalia’s seat is vacant. Ginsberg is 82 years old, Kennedy is 79, Breyer is 77, and Thomas is 67. Nowadays, the data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75.
These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years. The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology.
Think about that… 7-2. If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are seemed to be lacking in mandate.
Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision stating that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms. Period.
Everyone saying that they won’t vote for one candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize this. If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you likely will never see another Conservative victory at the Supreme Court level for the rest of your life. Ever.
If you are a Conservative, a vote for anyone but the GOP nominee, whomever that will be, is a vote for Hillary Clinton.
Smh…
CNN IS RUN BY MORONS !!!!
